Eng11A: "Plea" Style #1 (Physical or Sedentary)

   Despite my introvert and reticent personality, I strongly prefer the physical life style. First of all, being physically active is the basic to be healthy. Nowadays, people are so dependent on the handiness of cars that they do not have any chance to stand up and stretch their legs. As a result, obesity and heart diseases are becoming more and more common among youngsters. To stay healthy and maintain a good body shape, I always choose to walk instead of putting myself into the "metal cage" fueled by petroleum. Secondly, enjoying the beauty of nature is the best means to relax. After seven hours of academic "torturing", my head is full-loaded with terms from Biology and equations from Math. I need to refresh my brain, but the white walls and computers cannot do anything to relieve the tiredness -- only the fragrance in the woods and the exhilaration from sweaty workouts can do so. When I run in the woods, the only sound I can hear is my own heartbeat. The rapidly repeated "Da-Dum" allows me to focus on my body, and forget all the trifles. All in all, a physical life style helps me to be healthy and relaxed, an effect which a sedentary could never have.

  1. So it sounds like you are a runner? Good for you! I think running clears the mind and is good for so many things too.
